Concord, NH – The United States Marshals Service is very happy to announce the arrest of one of New Hampshire's "Fugitives of the Week," Jesse Davis. Jesse Daniel Davis, 38 years-of-age, was arrested early this morning after being found using the name, Jesse Kimball at a Lewiston, Maine hotel. Davis had been wanted on a Strafford County (New Hampshire) Superior Court warrant for failing to appear on a charge of reckless conduct with a deadly weapon (vehicle) that was issued on December 30, 2020.
Mr. Davis had been featured on January 6th as the "Fugitive of the Week," which was aired on WTPL-FM, WMUR-TV, The Union Leader, The Nashua Telegraph, The Patch, Foster's Daily Democrat, Manchester Information, the Manchester Ink Link, the Rochester Voice and prominently featured on the internet. The "Fugitive of the Week" continues to be a very successful tool that has resulted in the location and arrest of numerous fugitives since its implementation in 2007. Additionally, the "Fugitive of the Week" was distributed statewide to all law enforcement officers in New Hampshire.
This arrest is a direct result of the multiple tips received this weekend pointing investigators to hotels on Lisbon Street in Lewiston, Maine. Investigators from the U.S. Marshals - Maine Violent Offenders Task Force checked these hotels this morning and were able to locate Mr. Davis using the name Jesse Kimball. Davis was arrested inside his hotel room without further incident. Mr. Davis was also found to have a bail violation warrant issued out of Oxford County, Maine.
Mr. Davis was booked at the Androscoggin County Jail as a fugitive from justice based on the Strafford County (New Hampshire) warrant and will be held pending his court appearance later today. Additionally, Davis will need to be seen in Oxford County Maine prior to his return to New Hampshire.
This arrest was made by several member agencies of the U.S. Marshals – Maine Violent Offender Task Force including, Maine State Police, Maine Department of Corrections, Biddeford Police Department, and U.S Border Patrol, along with deputy U.S. Marshals.
Since the inception of the U.S. Marshals - New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force in 2002, these partnerships have resulted in over 8,218 arrests (Updated as of 12/16/2020). These arrests have ranged in seriousness from murder, assault, unregistered sex offenders, probation and parole violations and numerous other serious offenses.
